Dexter Morgan, our favorite serial killer with a heart, is back on the small screen in the series Dexter: Resurrection, premiering July 11 on the streaming platform SkyShowtime. After we all watched with bated breath as his son Harrison shot him at the end of Dexter: New Blood, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief — Dexter is alive! And not just alive, but ready for a new mission — searching for his missing son in the big city, New York.
How did Dexter survive? The cold weather and snow slowed his bleeding, allowing him to be rushed to the hospital and revived. Now, awakened from a coma, Dexter faces his demons and old sins, especially when a familiar face from Miami, detective Angel Batista, appears on his trail.
The original Dexter series, starring Michael C. Hall, became a cult phenomenon because it put viewers in the unusual position of rooting for a serial killer. Dexter is no ordinary killer — he has a “code” instilled by his adoptive father, police officer Harry Morgan, to kill only those who have themselves escaped justice. Each of his killings is a ritual involving kidnapping, confronting the victim with their crimes, collecting a blood sample as a trophy, and finally dumping the body into the ocean.
Dexter: Resurrection is not just a story about searching for a son, but a quest for redemption and soul. Can a man defined by death find salvation? Can the dark passenger within him ever sleep forever? As Dexter battles guilt, viewers will be drawn back into his dark, irresistibly captivating world.
If you thought Dexter’s story was over, think again. Get ready for the return of one of television’s most complex and fascinating antiheroes. And if you have your own theories or favorite moments from the series, feel free to share — Dexter would surely love to hear what you think!
